noyance caused to the animals by
flies and mosquitoes often amounts to
positive agony, and at all times, In
what is called good corn weather, II
is sufficient to prevent the stock eat
ing enough to keep them in good con-
dition. The animals will stand In the
water or pass the greater part OF the
day in the shade rather than expose
themselves to the sunshine, going out
to eat only when driven by hunger.
They quickly lose flesh, the flow OF
milk shrlnks, and loss is incurred
that cannot be easily made good
again. At all times a good feed OF
grain Is beneficial to stock, but 1t Is
especially so when flies are very an
noying, since it will do much to pre-
vent shrinkage of flesh and milk.
Horses and milch cows may be pro-
tected, In a great measure, by whip
ing them all over with sponge
dipped IN soap suds in when little
clrbolic acid has been mixed.
It is a we'll known fact that the
subscriptions of a country paper VIII
not pay the cost of publication, ana
it is usually expected that the busl-
ness men of the towns most benentted
will make up the bulk of its support
by advertising. 1t is useless to say
that advertising does't pay; the best
and most successful business men OF
| the country know that it does. The
man who does not advertise knows
| that he receives certain measure OF
benefit from the publication of the
paper, for which he gives no return;
| in short, takes advantage of the tact
that publisher must work for the
good of the whole community ana
not for individuals, to obtain a por-
ton of that good without giving an
adequate return. He thus puts him.
self in the light of accepting portion
| o. the good that his fellow business
men have paid for. We submit that
| this is not fair, either to tie publisher
or to those men whose support makes
the publication of the paper possible.

| One of the party of excursionlsts
! which visited Norris a short time ago
writes of this place as follows i'll his
home paper, The Sun, of Plaintleld,
| Wis: 1--WE pass OH to Morris,
THRIVING little city of about 1000 in
habitants, where the party sat down
| to one of the best gotten up dinners
| we had on the road, which was
| served in metropolitan style. After
| dinner, the citizens, who we should
liudge were most liberal set, con-
veyed the party about town in turn

much larger proportions. A superior
| quality of cream brick, which, it Is
| said, even surpasses in color and
richness the well-known Milwaukee
| cream brick, is manufactured here
and shipped in large quantities to
different sections in Minnesota. On
an elegant stock farm near Morris

| ton. This section besides producing
a fine grade of wheat and other grains,
is Justly celebrated for the excellence
of its dairy products, the extensive
rich pastures affording the best of
grazing. The city is only about
twelve years old and with the rapid
growth it is making, is destined to
make a much larger CITY,"
Elsewhere IS published a letter
from the gentleman who contem-
plates establishing Il flax factory at
this point. Every man in Morris
and vicinity who desires the advance
ment of city or country ought to lend
helping hand toward securing this
manufacturing enterprise. Unity of
faction ought to be the watchword,
and if there are any petty jealousles
let them be laid aside for this once
and all work together for the common
good. There can hardly be any diff
terence of opinion as to the benefits
1.-The town would derive in the estab'
lishment of such an enterprise as con-
templated. It would increase the
value of every mans property. Ii
would also benefit the farmers as it
would provide an excellent market
for flax straw, commodity that is
now wholly useless in this vicinity
!, We don't calculate the benefits de-
rived from this one enterprise as the
beginning and end-but Just as star
